Slouching Toward the Millenium
K. Kristofferson
A Moment of Forever
INTRO: D
It's [D]time for truth the barker said and [G]poured hisself a [D]beer
Oh yea for sooth said Ben the Geek but who'll be left to [A]hear
They've [D]driven off the fools and saints and [G]now they stole the [D]show
It's all a bloody circus mates and [A]clowns are in con[D]trol
If that's the truth said Marzipan the midget from the floor
I know there won't be no demand for midgets anymore
We used to be a novelty by simply being small
But next to them unholy men our Tiny Tim looks tall
CHORUS:
And it's [G]harder to matter at all when it's all comin' [D]down (and it's all comin' down)
You've [G]still got your duty to choose how you live or you [D]die (that's just the way it is)
[G]So many warnings to turn this old rascal a[D]round
We'd better heed 'em while [A]we got the freedom to [D]try
SPOKEN OVER CHORUS CHORDS (during SOLO):
From the bombin' over baghdad, to the burnin' down of Waco
In the television courtrooms of our trials, we can see
If you wanna kill your parents, cut off somebody's business
All you gotta do is make 'em hate the victim and you're free
Like Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein, David Koresh
CHORUS
[D]We better heed 'em while [A]we got the freedom to [D]try
